Love, they are. Last March 2009, when she was still
using her old Twitter
account, Love insulted fashion designer Dawn

and this time the victim is Dawn Simorangkir,
fashion designer and owner of Boudoir Queen line.

Reporter Simorangkir has filed a lawsuit against
Courtney Love amounting to an unspecified -but certainly about a
few millions dollars - amount of money in damages claiming that
Love published intentionally false declaration on Twitter smearing

the court will have to establish, first of all, that a Twitter
account has the same power and reliability of traditional mass
media and secondly the truth and existence of the bad-mouthing
post. And guess what strategy Courtney Love's defence will use?

Twitter was false, her mental state was not subjectively malicious
to justify a libel charge" her lawyers declared after requiring the
presence of a medical examiner at the hearing. In a nutshell: "Your
Honour, the defendant is nut!
